Question : I have reddish purple spots on my palms when I put them down to my side. They improve when I lift them up. I also have had a low grade fever for about a month even after being on antibiotics (zpack for sinus infection, bactrim for bladder infection). Blood work comes back normal but I still dont feel well. Weak and achy and a little nauseous.

Hi,

Thanks for your query.

I would like to know some more details on the rashes you have , so that I would give you a better and most probable opinion

1) What is the average size of a rash ?

2) How many rashes do you notice ?

3) Explain me their distribution.

4) Are the rashes seen always ?

5) Since when do you have this problem ?
